It is doubtful il the intimate relation
between mass and dignity ia physical

is popular superstition that innate
majesty, some compelling power Of the
intellect, Is the secret Of that influence
which leaders exercise over their follow

the long run, aud despite the list of in
stances from history with Napoleon /.

notice how much more attention is paid
to men who are bigi If small-sized

nobody pays the slightest attention to
him unless he has some sort of a bounc-
ing reputation; but if he is a largo
man everybody turns round and saws:
Let's hear what this splendid great fell
low has to say for himself oh, there
Is nothing like size, tell you, in max
ing ones way in the world"
OF course there was a certain whim-
sicaity in this, but there was, too, a
great deal of truth. There is a mo-
mentum and swing in mass, pure and
simple, against which nothing short
of tile most vigorous intellect can hold
its own, and even that stands the chance
Of bong roughly used in band-to-

from the dangerous results Of physical

once that he got his way simply by the
size of his frown, and the principle is
of general application. We are all of
us susceptible to mere size, and how

we discern intellectual greatness, we
none the less are seldom able wholly to
free ourselves from the domination ofthe
